The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has postponed indefinitely his 50 years coronation anniversary in the aftermath of the ravaging coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
This is contained in a statement he personally signed and issued to
newsmen on Saturday. The oba ascended the throne on Jan. 14, 1971, aged
31.
Oba Adeyemi, who had made adequate arrangements for an elaborate ceremony, said it was important to postpone the event.
He said that he had been able to convince his traditional cabinet of the need to postpone the event, as a sign of respect for the sanctity of human life.
